Babies: 0 - 3 Months

DD will not sleep anywhere but

her boppy vibrating bouncy chair! Sophia is 2 months old and I thought by now I would be able to put her in the cosleeper next to our bed or her crib... the minute that we put her down she opens her eyes and starts to scream! Ugh. So every night we swaddle her and bounce her to sleep in her vibrating chair... and when she wakes up we have to rebounce her to sleep after her feeding. She hates the swing, too.

 Any suggestions?

TIA!!!

Re: DD will not sleep anywhere but

  • I haven't gotten this to work, we still rock DS to sleep before putting him down... but I have read that you should put her down sleepy, not asleep wherever you want her to sleep - then soothe her as she needs it (pacifier, rub her belly) without picking her up... it won't work at first and she will fight it. But people claim if you are persistent it will eventually get her to sleep elsewhere. ?I personally am still just letting DS sleep wherever he will sleep! ?

    Another idea would be put the chair in her crib if it will fit (I know someone who did this with the carseat b/c they had the same problem) , and let her sleep there a few nights so she can get used to being in the crib... eventually she may make the transition. ?Good luck!

  • UGH! ?DS will sleep in his bassinet at night but during the day, he will ONLY sleep in his "Good Vibrations" bouncie seat... ?I literally just tried to put him in his crib thinking - I ?better break this before it becomes a habit" and after only 5 minutes.... ?HE WAS CRYING!!! ?I put him in his bouncie and WALAH! ?He's sound asleep!!! ?I think I might try what PP suggested... ?I'm going to put the bouncie in his crib!

    GOOD LUCK TO YOU!?
